Here’s what employers can do about it.
Expect your office to be a bit emptier come 9 a.m. Monday.
According to a 2008 report, over 1.5 million workers will call in sick the day after the Super Bowl, and millions more will be late. Maybe it’s the reported 325 million gallons of beer Americans will consume — or the 1.3 billion chicken wings. Whatever the case, that’s a lot of lost productivity.
